We should be seeing bill text when available. Otherwise, we’re only seeing assumptions.

I see another Colorado gun bill made it to committee that the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners support called "HB1085 Change Posession of Weapons by Previous Offender," and that just about all the Dem Boulder/Denver gun grab bills [seeing assumptions] haven't yet made it out of the starting blocks.

Thanks, Red Steel. The bill makes sense, IMO. Under "summary,"
Under current law the crime of possession of weapons by previous offenders applies to all felony convictions. The bill limits the felony application to felonies under the victim's rights act, burglary, arson, or any felony involving the use of force or the use of a deadly weapon.

The anti-Second-Amendment lobby has been using a gradualist approach for decades. Even some large subgroups without felony or commitment histories have been denied their Second Amendment right. Some, with no criminal history at all (e.g., the Violence Against Women Act, passed both parties in Congress).

Any congressman or assemblyman who can be convinced by way of anecdote devised to cause emotional responses should have his drinking water checked for overly high hormone concentrations.
